  He wouldn't have gotten much more from a dealer or on Ebay, after expenses.

  The titles are not very valuable- but great sound and sonics.

  Best,

  You know what? He wanted to "give" them to me. For nothing. He justed wanted them in good hands. Someone who would "appreciate them." I let him set the price.

  I'll tell you also that he wanted me to take the Dual TT and another hundred or so classical LPs just to be rid of them. Tomorrow, he's carting everything to the library donation pile.

  Sheesh.

    from a retired audio salesman. He had just moved to a condo in Florida, wife passed away, and his current audio interest is 100% digital.

    He was selling his turntable and record collection.
    He knew he was asking for less than 10% of what they are worth, but he wanted them to go to someone who would care for them and appreciate them for what they are. The box was chuck full of virgin vinyl pressings from MFSL, Sheffield, Nautilus, Colombia half-speed master (oh well), Sweet Thunder, and even a couple of MFSL UHQR's.
    All of them in MINT condition. He even threw in his analog cleaners and various related turntable "tchotchke's" that are easily worth what I paid for the vinyl just by themselves.

    My first true "haul", LOL.

    Cheers,

      Minty vinyl is fun to buy for pennies on the dollar. I have been fortunate this last two years. Most of the good stuff I find is coming from people donanting albums to the Library. The Library seels them at their used book sales to raise revenue. I get these for a buck a piece to as low as a quarter a piece.

      I think I have about 400 near mint albums from these types of sales.

      Cheers!
